"No," Molly argued. "It is about time we put on a united front and stand up to the Snapes. We need to show them that we cannot be pushed around anymore."

"For the love of Merlin, Molly…."

"Rose wants people to fight for her," Molly argued. "And by God we are going to fight for her!"

"You're going to chase her away," Arthur groaned.

"Well then what do you suggest we do?" Ron asked.

Arthur took a deep breath. "Let's give her a week or so to calm down. Perhaps then George or I could write her asking how she is doing. We will keep things neutral, and won't bring up Severus and Hermione Snape at all."

"By that time, Snape will have found a way to poison her against me," Ron argued.

"You poisoned her against you the day you abandoned Hermione," Arthur retorted. "You have only yourself to blame for this."

Ron pouted, "I said I was really sorry."

"And Rose will understand that soon enough," Molly answered. "All we need to do is show her that we'll fight for her."

Arthur threw up his hands.

"Don't give me that look," Molly snapped.

"To hell with this," Arthur growled. "To blood hell with the both of you."

"Don't get cross with me!" Molly shouted. "I am only trying to have a relationship with my granddaughter."

"She's my granddaughter too," Arthur argued.

"And she's my daughter," Ron chimed in. "Personally, I like Mum's plan of charging in and finally telling the Snapes they can't push us around. It's long past time that we stand up to them."

"Which is exactly what I plan to do," Molly announced.

Arthur glowered at Molly. "So help me if you cost me a relationship with my granddaughter."

Molly gulped.

"So help me if Rose never speaks to us again," Arthur raised his voice. "I will never, I repeat never, forgive you."

Ron shuddered.

Arthur stormed away, leaving Molly and Ron to ponder exactly what the consequences of their actions would be.
